Categories Comments Great for these types of students This great for hands-on junkies like myself I got into auto parts and I am enjoying it here. beside get to know new people that you have not met before and for me I think its good way to go to college.
Tips for prospective students You have to put your heart into a career you like if you are trying to go for auto mechanics, diesel, or auto parts just name a few. Don't sit back and relax just do what you do best.

Categories Comments Bang for the buck You definitely do not waste your money at this school. They give you exactly what you pay for which is what I was asking for and they know what they are doing. This is a school that is great with it's students but at the same time they do not joke around when it comes to your education.
What to do for fun For fun I hunt, camp, build things with wood or metal, and I hang out with my friends.
Food and Dining There is no cafeteria at the school but there are great places to get lunch at around the school that is fast and inexpensive.
Dorm Life There are no dorm at this campus but the living around the school is great because there is a lot to do and the campus is really nice to walk around.
Academic Rigor The courses really are not very hard at all, unless you dislike your career choice. The courses are really nice and steady and the times that they have for them are great for students that have jobs or life outside of school. Its not too stressful like some classes can be.
Tips for prospective students For future students the only tips that I have for them is to really decide what career you want and when you go to school ask all the questions that you have because the teachers have all the answers and they are really helpful.
In three sentences I love going to Bates Technical College and am very happy with my choice. The classes are great, they teach me exactly what is going on in the field that I have chosen. The teachers are great and really try to be honest and straight to the point with the students which is exactly what I was looking for.

Categories Comments Campus Safety great guards protect and serve.
Clubs and Activities diversity center has tutoring.
Share any unusual traditions or locations on campus the parking on the roof is a funky hideaway.
Bang for the buck students discount in the cafeteria and assemblys offering pizza. job opportunities are handed to us in work-based learning. school uniforms are gone for good around here.
What to do for fun walking the few blocks around the campus gives me a good stretch in morning breaks. singing away in the courtyard when school is out. jumping for joy when another speaker visits the conference hall.
Food and Dining candy machines and soda pop can be found in the hall. a cafeteria run by students had full course meals and salads. a coffee shop across the street from downtown campus has money saving items.
Dorm Life close by affordable apartments and waterfront views. no on campus rooms available for students of any age. three separate locations in tacoma, wa.
Academic Rigor strong curriculum provides the essential tools i will use for success in employment. instructions are easily understood and suitable for my learning needs. due dates are bottom line in my school.
Tips for prospective students dress comfortably because you will be sitting down so much. the people are friendly sharing the halls. remember your coffee mug.
In three sentences vocational training for superior success. professional instruction modeled for your pace. candid memories for a lifetime worth while.

Categories Comments Food and Dining A few blocks from downtown Tacoma where most of the finest dining are at such as Melting Pot, Varsity Grill, Matador bar and lounge.
Dorm Life There isn't a dorm around the school, but the apartments are really close and affordable for any college students
Tips for prospective students Take a look and tour the campus. Maybe sit in a class and see if it's good fit. This school is rough around the edges, but great success!
In three sentences It wasn't my first choice to go, but it was the only school that took me right away when I was late in applying for school. Campus is small, but the faculty and advisors are great and very helpful. They really prepare you for the workforce and help with you with a job placement.
